Good to Be Home

After a week and a half of traveling around the rolling hills of America’s Dairyland for work and four days of no blog posts, I can happily share with y’all I am back in the comforts of my apartment in Madison.

My aging body also likes when I don’t drink alcohol, but somehow I chose to ignore that fact last night.

Anyways, yours truly is really excited and surprisingly content to get back to regular eating, regular workouts and a somewhat regular daily schedule (including blogging!). I will say however, getting out of the office and changing up the normal work pace was extremely beneficial because…

…I discovered Subway breakfast sandwiches!!!

Seriously, delicious.

My flatbread sandwich was topped with egg whites, pepperjack cheese and 2 slices of bacon then toasted to perfection. Topped with spinach, tomato, red onion and green pepper and guzzled down with a venti coffee, I can officially say I have discovered a new grab n’ go breakfast love.

That’s not to say I didn’t fully enjoy grocery shopping for the first time in two weeks.

Glad you had a nice trip. I haven’t tried subways bfast yet, but it looks pretty darn good! TJs…so jealous. We need one in Charleston super bad (just like the movie). Aren’t those Oatmeal Squares the jam? Love those things. One exciting thing that happened to me? I didn’t have weekend plans and it was wonderful!

LOL i love d!ck in a box… and i’m on a boat… and jiz in my pants…
made my day. annnnd now i shall youtube and put off my to-do list for another quick minute… or two..

glad to hear your trip went well, but even happier to know that you’re back in madison enjoying this amazing weather :)
what did i do… oh well, last night i went to tyranena brewery (lake mills, have you been??) and it was amazing. blue grass + tyranena honey blonde & oktoberfest = happy mallory.

Glad to hear that your trip went well! Word of caution about subway I read an article (it was a post on my blog awhile back) that an ingredient in their bread is the same ingredient in most fertilizers. I won’t eat there anymore and I wish that I could. I loved subway! Maybe they’ll change and I can eat there again. Love the farmer’s market btw!

Glad you’re back safe and sound and enjoying the home life – feels so good after a week like that! I have just finished cooking and eating the most decadent, glorious green bean casserole of all time and now I’m going to take a long walk to a coffee shop to digest and sip something yum on this gorge night.

Hi!! Long time reader, first time commenting! First of all, thanks for reminding me about the VMA’s and second of all my mom is the SAME WAY when it comes to buying stuff. Whenever I say “I really want _______” her response is “buy it!”. Which would be fine if I had an unlimited amount of money. Mother’s are such bad influences ;). Hope you enjoy resuming a routine schedule!

Kanye will out-do himself, believe me! I am counting on it. And once you calculate out the amount of ice cream one can safely eat after the Wisconsin Ironman; let me know, i am thinking about running/swimming/biking it next year ;) It must be pretty inspiring to stand at the finish… ” Girl You Know I’ve Wanted Breakfast For A Long, Long Time… Now I’m Ready To Blend Up Some Fruit Real Fine… You Know I’m Hungry And A Glass Just Won’t Do…. Gonna Make Myself Somethin’ To Satisfy My Hunger Qssss… It’s My Smoothie In A Bowl!

oof, do i hear you! i was away all weekend, ate like a champ and did lotsa fun things but am very pleased to be home. routine is good after you’ve strayed from it for awhile, that is for sure. hope the rest of your sunday is restful :)

hmm, one exciting thing? a random radio interview i had the opportunity to do as a result of something i wrote. neat eh?

grocery shopping is the bestt! each bag is a future promise of having a happy, well-fed tums :D and yah, even though the farmer’s market in my area is pretty expensive and snobby (well, as snobby as carrots, flowers and mr.random hobo-lookin’ guitar guy that kind of looks like a lost cowboy on a wooden stool can be…) , trader joe’s is always and forever gonna be wass happenin’ AND wassup in my book :D

Can I be preemptively excited to see you in a few weeks? You KNOW I can’t pass up a good deal! I’ve spent too much money in the past few days on things that were just “too good to be true.” Ugh. Not the best way to be saving for magical adventures…

Glad you are back! I noticed that we both purchased the same masala veg burgers this weekend. I don’t know if you’ve had them before but I tried one on Saturday and loved it! I haven’t tried out the jeggings yet (did I get it right this time?) but I’ll let you know. Happy Monday!

Welcome home! I also have a special place in my heart for the ridiculous amount of items I can bring home from TJ’s with a ridiculously low price tag! And hey- we have almost the same running shoes! Mine were definitely $100…where did you find them for $70??

I always loving getting back to a routine after traveling to! And I didn’t know subway had brekkie sammies either! How awesome is that. Also, Sauconys are my fave running shoes, I have 2 pairs and I need another. Yes, need.

The last 4 days have been pretty ho-hum for me…nothing to exciting. In fact, I fell asleep while watching a movie on my laptop in bed at 7pm last night. How’s that for grandmotherly? You’re not the only old soul… :-)

I moved to Manhattan yesterday, and the ONE thing lacking is a Trader Joe’s. There’s one in Chelsea, which is way too far, and one opening up about 30 blocks away, but that’s still pretty darn far. I was actually really surprised to find that out; Whole Foods and The Food Emporium are EVERYWHERE, and TJ’s seems like the perfect mix of the two. It’s such a city-appropriate store, too. Bummer…

I feel tottallly behind, too! I was at a conference from Friday to Saturday night and missed SO much in the blog world. Not only that, I had to do THREE posts just to catch up haha. LOVE the SIAB….I’ve got to try those Oatmeal Squares! I hear they’re delicious…do you like the ones with brown sugaar or are yours the original?

Lovaaaahh!!! I feel like we haven’t chatted in forevs. Fix soon? Oui oui.

Hmmmm this past week…err, chillin in Athens all weekend has been pretty bangin. I really want to move back, actually, lol. WHAT I’M ONLY 22…right? Thinking about maybe taking some business classes. But as you know, my plans change errday.

Beautiful bounty of healthy groceries! Also, major score on the running shoe bargain. Hope you continue to enjoy settling back into your normal groove and are able to stop and take some deep breaths. Love you lady!
